Regular expressions have become the de facto way to undertake any kind of string/text handling. They underpin search engines, text analytics and word processors. The catch is that “REGEX” is effectively a programming language in itself which requires learning and typically a lot of trial and error. The new RX nodes in IBM SPSS Modeler extend the Visual Data Science approach of SPSS Modeler itself to Regular Expression handling. In this webinar we will demonstrate how you can use the…
